You just gotta hate it when you have to leave $3000 at the dealership for service. I have an 08 335xi coupe with only 45K. I took it in for a transmission fluid leak on the garage floor after the car sat for a while. After I drove away I had a new Mechatronics sleeve, A new LF axle shaft seal, A new Thrust arm on the RF with alignment, A new Valve cover and trap door to address low crankcase pressure resulting in an oil leak and one selective item in a transfer case fluid change! Yikes!! Oh well I do love this car but right now it is a love/hate relationship!

Were you advised what needed to be done .... and did you approve the repairs? Did they return (or offer to) the replaced parts?

I really question why you needed a head cover and trap door for a transmission leak. Or a thrust arm ....

In PA. if you don't approve the work before it's done .... it's free.
